Write in y=mx+b Form -10y-x=7x+8

$- 10 y - x = 7 x + 8$

Step 1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $x$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 10 y = 7 x + 8 + x$

Add $7 x$ and $x$ .

$- 10 y = 8 x + 8$

Divide each term in $- 10 y = 8 x + 8$ by $- 10$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 10 y = 8 x + 8$ by $- 10$ .

$\frac{- 10 y}{- 10} = \frac{8 x}{- 10} + \frac{8}{- 10}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 10$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 10 y}{- 10} = \frac{8 x}{- 10} + \frac{8}{- 10}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{8 x}{- 10} + \frac{8}{- 10}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Cancel the common factor of $8$ and $- 10$ .

Factor $2$ out of $8 x$ .

$y = \frac{2 (4 x)}{- 10} + \frac{8}{- 10}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $- 10$ .

$y = \frac{2 (4 x)}{2 (- 5)} + \frac{8}{- 10}$

Cancel the common factor.

$y = \frac{2 (4 x)}{2 \cdot - 5} + \frac{8}{- 10}$

Rewrite the expression.

$y = \frac{4 x}{- 5} + \frac{8}{- 10}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = - \frac{4 x}{5} + \frac{8}{- 10}$

Cancel the common factor of $8$ and $- 10$ .

Factor $2$ out of $8$ .

$y = - \frac{4 x}{5} + \frac{2 (4)}{- 10}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $- 10$ .

$y = - \frac{4 x}{5} + \frac{2 \cdot 4}{2 \cdot - 5}$

Cancel the common factor.

$y = - \frac{4 x}{5} + \frac{2 \cdot 4}{2 \cdot - 5}$

Rewrite the expression.

$y = - \frac{4 x}{5} + \frac{4}{- 5}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = - \frac{4 x}{5} - \frac{4}{5}$

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{4}{5} x) - \frac{4}{5}$

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{4}{5} x - \frac{4}{5}$
